The Adult Literacy and Lifeskills (ALL) Survey is an international comparative study designed to provide participating countries, including the United States, with information about the skills of their adult populations.

This was an interview in 2008 between Lynn Steen and Bernie Madison, two who have become known names in numeracy/quantitative reasoning.\nThre's an interesting section toward the end about "quants".

From Inside Higher Education, an article that refers to US Dept of Ed study...

I came across the following resource which provides a, "A Framework for the Pedagogical Evaluation of eLearning Environments". The paper uses Chickering & Gamson's (1987) 'Seven Principles of Effective Teaching' as the framework for examining the potential of Virtual Learning Environments to enhance learning. It also includes a questionnaire based on the viable system and conversational models articulated by Britain...

done in 1991, but still qoted : note in teaching for SCANS document, reference to math and science on pp 11-2

Lots of interesting resorces
